Lentil Keftethes

One of Greyson and Roman’s favorite kitchen ventures. Fun and delicious for everyone, the key to these keftedes is in the homemade bread crumbs because they still contain a trace amount of moisture. Happy cooking!

What you'll need

1L Everything Olive Oil $49

Method:

Boil lentils with a single bay leave for 20 -25 minutes or until soft.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together well.
Lightly oil a frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
When oil is hot, lower to medium and add spoonfuls of mixture into your hand forming a flat meatball before adding to pan.
*I use an oversized spoon so the kefte are roughly the same size.
Cook each kefte on each side (about 1-2 minutes) until golden brown. Serve.
